My life is ever approaching the empty nest time of life. Now, I spend my time spoiling grands, exploring making crafts, reading and my church. My blogposts will most likely be about these things in my life. Also book reviews and contests as love reading. Hope you will enjoy your visit and come again to see what is happening here.

Week 2 of Making your home a haven-fall challenge and Day 11 of Autumn Through my eyes!

Choose worship, classical, jazz or another form of peaceful music that the family enjoys. Focus on using peaceful words and maintaining peaceful relationships.

Work on gentleness and self-control this week.

My candle is burning and my music is playing, one song that I am really enjoying right now is this.......http://youtu.be/CVqR6kTu8lE It reminds me to share peace and light into the world around me and it should start in my home.

Here are 4 ways to pursue gentleness and self-control this week:

1) Pray for Peace in your home and the world around you

2) Instead of raising your voice or speaking in anger, try to lower your voice to a soft whisper and speak kindly

3)Do not let others dictate how you feel or especially how you react

4) Remember yelling at a bud won't make it bloom

Remember Momas, you usually set the tone in your home, what kind of tone are you setting? Is your home a haven to run to or a place they want to run from?

From this little baby born on April 7, 1995 to the wonderful young man you have became April 7, 2011 Moma and Daddy were so blessed the day you were born and grow more blessed with each passing year. I pray God will richly bless you this year. Let Him be your guide and follow Him and do His will and you will be right where you need to be. We love you! God bless, Moma & Daddy

Saw this on a friends blog and had to share-Before you gripe about another petty something about your spouse or child-think how how you would feel if you woke up without them tomorrow. Man this hit me in the face and really made me really think! :( Then, I found this quote above about what if you woke up today with only what you thanked God for yesterday. Who or what would you still have? Would you have your spouse, your kids, your friends, your home, car, anything? Again, this really made me think and I ashamed to say I am not sure I like my answers to the above questions. I cannot change the past as none of us can but I am going to really work on changing my answers and my life. I know I need to really work on this but I am sharing it in the hope it might help others as well. God bless,Pat

Sometimes I wonder does anyone even read here. I wonder if this blogs time has come and gone. I sometimes think, well I will just write for me and use it like a diary of sorts. I am just not sure what to do. I really enjoy writing the blog but......
